Poem
In our first years together we bought a caravan The living conditions weren't ideal but we had a plan We moved around a bit so the Council couldn't catch us The dream far too precious to be snatched from us We saved our money, working hard - day and night For the dream we dreamt together was in our sight We wanted children and a family home Our dream - something we could call our own Four years passed and we were doing fine We were rewarded by our efforts - buying our first house in 2009 We decorated fast - especially one room This was the place where our first baby would bloom A month later she arrived, 10 fingers, 10 toes - in our arms she would thrive We adored her and praised her for every step that she took We held her, played daily and read her a book She got poorly one day, we tried to make her feel better Everything we tried only upset her We drove to the hospital to wait in A&E Holding her tight whilst she sat on our knee The doctors ran their tests looking for answers Results read out loud, the words - blood cancer Our dream completely shattered Getting her better - the only thing that mattered To Bristol we were taken Our hearts and minds completely shaken 9 months we spent together as a team Trying to beat cancer - our new dream! Taking her back home was the best day of all Watching her walk through the door was magical! "We are so lucky to keep her" - which we always say So many stories don't turn out this way Another year on, she was getting strong Now she needed a sister to play along Our second baby arrived, and wow what a beauty! We loved her and continued our parental duty We adored her and praised her for every step that she took We held her, played daily and read her a book They laughed and they played and they loved each other too Together they were happy with me and you We dreamed of a garden for them to play Seeing them muddy and collecting bugs for the day We worked harder still, working day and night For the dream of our garden and sitting somewhere bright We found it! - the house of our dreams Our new garden right there showered in sun beams The four of us now, the dog and the cat Enjoying our garden - our own habitat That brings us to now and our story so far Us, the kids, the house, the animals, the caravan and car With ups and downs our dreams came true And with all of my heart, I love you x
